Amazon parrots
Parrot pair
These near-identical parrots prove that birds of a feather flock together. But sometimes that feather is hard to put a name to, especially in the crowded world of amazon parrots. Most amazon share the genus' most visible trait (green plumage), but subtle differences in head, wing and beak colouration result in about 30 different species. That makes it tough to precisely identify Amazon parrots in the wild, though we're pretty sure our bird buddies here are yellow-crowned amazons. Would you like to do a little field research and see if you agree?

These feathered friends have each other's backs (and beaks).
